But despite the focus on the breakdown, tears, and walkout, we learned a lot about NeNe. Her husband Gregg Leakes said NeNe has dealt with abandonment issues all her life.

He shared that NeNe is one of five children, and her and one of her brothers were sent away to be raised by an aunt. She's been haunted her whole life by the fact, wondering what she did to be sent away.

But as for the women themselves, they all seemed to end on a positive note. A writer for E! said, "instead of more fighting and instigating, the group came to an understanding and dare we say peaceful resolution."

What can we say? We never thought "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" would end in a group hug. Phew. What a Mother's Day.
